[u/Kindly-Activity9038]

If was basketball I would give Charlotte props not in football hell noo! They dont get credit for shit 1000% facts

[u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP]

No wonder the American invited JMU.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

WOOO LET'S GO CHARLOTTE

[u/DefiantAd2407]

Sorry temple fans… but I do know your pain.

[u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP]

This conference is a trash heap.

[u/xxrdawgxx → u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP]

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

[u/xxrdawgxx]

I never liked Keeler.

[u/Kindly-Activity9038]

Rigged they tanked to give Charlotte a win the easily could blown them out!!! Rigged politics

[u/Old_Credit7073 → u/Kindly-Activity9038]

LMAOO

[u/dontcriticizeasthis → u/Kindly-Activity9038]

Did you lose money betting on this game?

[u/flyntcoaltrane → u/dontcriticizeasthis]

Anytime I see an unflaired crash out over a game like this, I just assume it's a degenerate gambler

[u/dontcriticizeasthis → u/flyntcoaltrane]

That's a pretty safe bet!

[u/xxrdawgxx → u/dontcriticizeasthis]

If you're betting on Temple games, you have a problem

[u/dontcriticizeasthis → u/xxrdawgxx]

100% agree!

[u/Mandalore_Ultimate]

Where the defense at lol

[u/bovice2]

Just embarrassing

[u/cowboysmavs]

Temple is such a fucking joke

[u/Daspaintrain]

Losing in an empty stadium to a team who’s lost 12 straight. Guess I’m glad I went to Temple when I did, cause it’s been so miserable since I graduated.

[u/dontcriticizeasthis → u/Daspaintrain]

So... yeah.... Uhh...We're gonna need you to re-enroll

[u/xxrdawgxx → u/dontcriticizeasthis]

I mean, I have wanted a Master's.

Smart enough to graduate once, dumb enough to come back

[u/kalcheus]

Of course the one time I didn’t get a chance to put {Charlotte} in the pregame thread

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

Today has been nothing but chaos, what the hell

[u/DickBottalico]

He’s gotta use those timeouts before the 2 min warning

[u/Ernie567890]

Congrats Charlotte. And I mean that without sarcasm. That was a painful watch. The season is over

[u/Kindly-Activity9038]

Most rigged 2 weeks of college football this game very questionable especially coaching.

[u/dontcriticizeasthis → u/Kindly-Activity9038]

You must be unfamiliar with Temple football

[u/JagMehof]

Go niners, get that win

[u/Mandalore_Ultimate]

Plz guys plz

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I got a friend who is a Charlotte fan and I'm rooting HARD for them to get that first W. Let's GO

[u/RTWRW]

At what point do we decide to close the program down

[u/Gusanito99]

Hey Temple bros, I just tuned in

What the fuck is going on

[u/RTWRW → u/Gusanito99]

Temple gonna temple, thought Keeler was gonna change things but here we are

[u/phiraeth → u/Gusanito99]

Our defense is fucking trash and can't stop committing penalties as well

[u/True_Ad5324]

Does temple have the worst defense ever

[u/phiraeth → u/True_Ad5324]

Yes, send them all into the fucking sun

[u/Tarlcabot18]

I can't believe I'm watching this. But I'm glad I am.

[u/McIntyre2K7 → u/Tarlcabot18]

Goes to show you that Tim Beck is fucking ass.

[u/phiraeth]

I am going to throw up.

[u/kalcheus]

Sickos game of the day

[u/phiraeth]

AJANI SHEPPARD IS SO FUCKING GOOD. PETER CLARKE IS INCREDIBLE. PLEASE DEFENSE HOLD THE FUCKING LINE.

[u/DickBottalico]

These announcers aren’t bad

[u/phiraeth]

THIS DEFENSE IS FUCKING ASS. Fold the program if we lose.

[u/DickBottalico]

It’s insane if they keep losing these games with this QB

[u/phiraeth]

Ajani needs to start for the rest of the season. Dude is electric.

[u/dontcriticizeasthis]

Gosh, what a run. We needed that so bad!

[u/dontcriticizeasthis]

Why does it look like we're playing in slow motion today? Like we have weights on our legs?

[u/Ernie567890]

First you get the ball on the two yard line with a chance to go up two scores at half…not sure why you don’t just sneak it with Ajani at least one of those plays. Bad throw by Ajani there on 4th down. But then, Charlotte commits a personal foul and temple, with timeouts still available and the ball still at the half inch line for Charlotte, lets the clock run out??? Are you serious?? What were they thinking???

[u/DickBottalico → u/Ernie567890]

Two timeouts unused when clock was running on their own 1 yard line. You have to play for the safety there, it’s insane

You also have a better chance at a botched snap for a TD than they do at a 99 yard QB sneak lol

[u/DickBottalico]

how is Temple not calling timeout with the ball on the 1 yard line?

[u/MidAtlanticPolkaKing]

Incredible choke job to not make a clean pass there

[u/Go_birds304]

I think that hit the ground running

[u/Go_birds304]

He caught it, tucked, turned, and took steps. Fumble

[u/Go_birds304]

Clear catch

[u/Go_birds304]

Are Jayden brown and Jude Okeleke even on the team? I don't understand how our defense gets shredded and they can't even see the field. Some of the top DL recruits in G6

[u/CIemson]

These announcers are awful

[u/muckbangnialamando]

I can’t take it, pull smolik get Ajani in. At least we look competitive with Ajani.

[u/Helreaver]

Defense getting shredded by arguably the worst team in the FBS. This is fine.

[u/LobsterPerspective]

Why does Harrell look like he’s terrified every play?

[u/Adam-Miller-02]

Charlotte fans will tell their children about those ten minutes

[u/kalcheus]

Well it was nice while it lasted

[u/kalcheus]

Charlotte let’s goooooooooooooo.
Someone should post the TD as a highlight post on the subreddit (I’d do it but I’m traveling)

[u/RTWRW]

So why is smolik starting? I thought Shepard got hurt until I checked and I guess Keeler just don’t like having a shot at winning games

[u/dontcriticizeasthis → u/RTWRW]

No clue why we aren't rolling with Ajani after the past few weeks of "not great but alright" quarterback play. I think he showed improvement in each game and had momentum.

And it's not like Smolik was lighting it up before his injury either.

[u/xxrdawgxx]

Smolik continues to be ass. Why didn't we stay with Ajani?

[u/QCSportsGuy]

Leading? We’re allowed to do that?

[u/Ernie567890]

My goodness our defense is bad

[u/Ernie567890]

Wow, O came out completely flat

[u/dontcriticizeasthis → u/Ernie567890]

Defense not looking much better

[u/Ernie567890 → u/dontcriticizeasthis]

Is it time to accept that we’re just not good??

[u/dontcriticizeasthis → u/Ernie567890]

I already accepted we're not a great team. But I still have hope we're a not-bad team (kind of like last year). I think we could still make a bowl game

[u/Ernie567890 → u/dontcriticizeasthis]

I don’t disagree. But this defense needs a lot of work. There’s no way we should be getting pushed around like this by CHARLOTTE! This is so embarrassing

[u/dontcriticizeasthis → u/Ernie567890]

Yeah this is a pretty bad showing today on defense. At least last year I had more confidence that the offense could bail us out.

[u/Ernie567890]

Smolik getting the start…

[u/niners0101]

No

[u/BlueWaffle-47]

I hope Charlotte at least shows improvement they might legit not win a game

[u/Ernie567890]

Also - funny coincidence that two football teams from Philly play teams from Charlotte in the same stadium on consecutive days

[u/Go_birds304 → u/Ernie567890]

And Charlotte are playing the union in 15 mins

[u/Sctvman → u/Ernie567890]

At the same time too

[u/Ernie567890]

Kinda nervous about this one ngl.

[u/niners0101 → u/Ernie567890]

Don’t be
